heat sheild on cat

[the.other]

okay, so the bottom half of my heatsheild is rusted to shit and is for the most part gone, its rattleing and driving me crazy...is is safe to just take the rest of it off? or should i just get some hose clamps and fix the top from rattling?

otherwise, what can i do?, the cat is good and im not really interested in shelling out 400 for a new one :roll:

Fix it or fab a new one.

what do you mean by fix it....is it possible to get just a new heat sheild? where would i get the insulation?

and is it really nessasary? i still have the top half :?

The bottom portion is to prevent lighting up grass or weeds if you happen to park off pavement... If you always park over non-flamabble areas you should be ok.

Until you forget about it then set the grassy field you parked in on fire and set 9 cars on fire like which happened here in NZ! 8)
Definately replace it.
